How Automate America Works

Whether you run the plant or run the controls, staffing automation work here is fast and free. Companies post the work and see qualified applicants within minutes — or search the network and request the exact professional they need. Here is the whole flow, both sides.

For Professionals

1

Build your profile

Create a profile that shows what you actually run — PLC platforms, robot brands, HMI/SCADA, safety, the industries you know — plus certifications, past projects, and the rate you want. The sharper the profile, the better the work that finds you.

2

Get found — and go find work

Two directions at once. Our matching surfaces contracts, jobs, and RFQs that fit your skills, location, and availability, and companies searching the network can request you by name. You are never stuck waiting to be discovered.

3

Apply on your terms

Browse open contracts, direct jobs, and RFQs and apply to the ones worth your time. Take White Glove work (Automate America manages payroll and the paperwork) or Standard placement (you engage the company directly) — your call, contract by contract.

4

Do the work, build the record

Once you are on, log hours through the timesheet system, message the customer in-platform, and let the results speak. Completed contracts and customer reviews build a track record that wins the next job faster than any resume.

5

Get paid

Submit timesheets weekly. White Glove contracts pay on a set weekly cycle by direct deposit; Standard contracts pay on the terms you agreed with the customer. No chasing invoices, no wondering where the check is.

For Companies

1

Post the work — free

Put up a contract, a direct job, or an RFQ with the specifics: skills, location, duration, rate, and start date. Posting is free, the pay rate is public, and you set a market-accurate number before the first response lands.

2

See applicants in minutes — or request someone directly

Qualified professionals typically start applying within minutes. Prefer to pull instead of wait? Search the professional network and send a direct request to the exact controls engineer, PLC programmer, or integrator you want — you do not have to wait to be found either.

3

Review the real signal

Weigh each professional on completed contracts, customer reviews, work history, and the skills that match your line. Automate America does not vet or verify anyone — it puts the evidence in front of you and the hiring call stays yours.

4

Hire the right fit

Extend an offer to the person who fits. On White Glove contracts, Automate America handles onboarding, payroll, and compliance. On Standard, you manage the engagement directly. Most plants run a blend — a core team plus specialists for peaks and one-off integrations.

5

Manage and pay in one place

Track the engagement, approve timesheets, and keep every active project visible from one dashboard. Approve the hours and Automate America handles the rest on White Glove; Standard contracts invoice on your agreed terms.
